Cognella Academic Publishing Homeschooling and Mental Health

Featuring contributed chapters written from a variety of perspectives, Homeschooling and Mental Health provides readers with evidence-based information that addresses some of the common issues and tenets of at-home education and mental health. The text is organized into four units. Unit I provides readers with an overview of homeschooling history, environments, providers, and the impact of mental health on various systems and individuals involved in homeschool, such as parents, caregivers, education entities, and clinicians. Unit II examines homeschool identities; legal and ethical issues; homeschool communities, culture, and student diversity; and life after homeschool. Unit III reports the evidence-based realities of what parents and caregivers cope with and are concerned about regarding homeschooling and mental health. The final unit outlines the research on mental health and homeschool populations from a clinical and treatment-based perspective. Homeschooling and Mental Health is an excellent resource for courses in education, clinical counseling, and mental health counseling. About the Author Lee A.
